Chapter 2027

Patter, patter.

Even in the middle of summer and July, the weather in London is still in its own way. The continuous rain covers the sky above its head, and the sun can't penetrate. The cold wind seems to be in the cold January of winter. Pedestrians can't help but pull on the windbreaker to block the strong wind, and the heat on the surface of their skin is running away, I really don't know how to describe the abnormal weather.

However, the weather only lasted for a moment, a gust of wind came, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, the sparse sunlight bit by bit dyed the gray into gold, the gray blue sky hidden behind the clouds gradually revealed its original appearance, the steaming heat began to move under the feet, and the slow spread of the hot summer made the skin surface almost unable to breathe, The feeling of dullness is spreading in my chest.

Hula, hula, Hula.

This is London. It can go through four seasons in just one day. The changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter make people unable to prevent, but they also become the unique label of this city.

George hall is sitting in the Victorian style smoking room, with a whisky in front of him and a cigar in his right hand. He is chatting with a group of friends, discussing the current situation in Europe, the current economy in Britain and the choice of August vacation. The amount of information in words and deeds seems to be huge. A keyword can connect with a lot of professional knowledge, But in the final analysis, they are flattering each other, expounding their brilliant career and recalling their glorious past in those seemingly abstruse messages, so that their self-esteem can be greatly satisfied.

"George, I saw a figure in Saville street yesterday, wearing a rat gray windbreaker. Is that you? I'm always worried that my eyes don't work well. I don't dare to say hello easily. But when I think about it afterwards, I always feel like I've missed you. "

An understatement made all the eyes around him project one after another. George's action of holding a cigar was still skillful and natural, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Yes, it's a special trip to customize suits for autumn and winter. In the past, we used to order all the clothes year by year. Only women would update their wardrobe every quarter; But now the times have changed. It seems that young people are changing their styles every month. We are no longer young and are left behind by the times. I still think, maybe, at least, I can customize clothes every quarter to avoid being left behind too much. "

Is this self modesty?

Of course not. The real meaning revealed by George's words is: keeping pace with the times while maintaining the pride of the nobility; What's more, he was able to pay for the change of his custom clothes every quarter, and the hall family was out of the woods.

That's the real amount of information.

"I have to admit that I still don't like the design of young people's suits, but some of the improved styles of Saville Street still look much better. I'm trying to avoid being an old count, and I've realized that since the last time the Duke of Hamilton mistook me for an old count. "

"Sir Norman, George's winter suit is not just about avoiding being treated like an antique."

"George, although I haven't seen the ceremony for many years, I know that the prince of Wales has kept the tradition, which is undoubtedly a kind of respect. So, your customized suit should not be young people's style, right? Otherwise, you may be going to reverse the situation with Sir Norman and be mistaken for Arthur

There was a lot of laughter.

Although they didn't make it clear, the implication was obvious: they heard that Langley was about to be awarded a medal.

There are also many gossip rumors in the royal family, which never stops throughout the year. Now there are noble members on the waiting list of the ceremony. Naturally, no one wants to miss the gossip——

As an aristocrat, he won the Royal medal through his contribution in the field of art, which is absolutely a great feat.

In fact, the hereditary nobles are more or less obsessed with art, because this is an important part of their education, including philosophy, painting, sculpture, music and so on. They cultivate their sentiment through the influence of art, and also show their accomplishment and talent. The current number one Crown Prince Charles is a painting lover, and many of his works have been sold for charity, But unfortunately, I didn't win more praise.

Of course, the profession of "actor" has never been recognized by the nobility. Prejudice still exists today and will continue in the future; However, the weight of the Oliver prize can not be underestimated - this is the highest honor of the west end of London, and it is also the height that countless nobles yearn for. Now, Langley can prove his talent and talent in the field of art, and even break the prejudice barrier and win the Royal recognition, which also means that Langley has really "achieved success".

Aristocrats don't deliberately mention "Hollywood actors" for fear that Hollywood might tarnish their understanding of art; However, they are willing to mention the award, because it proves that the nobles are not a group of hypocrites fishing for fame. They also have the artistic talent that goes down in history. If not for the title of "hereditary nobles", they can also win a place like Langley.

That kind of pride and pride makes them proud, and the recognition from the royal family makes them excited, as if the person who wins the medal recognition is himself. If Harvey Weinstein and many celebrities dream of becoming aristocrats, then the aristocrats dream of becoming the royal family. The royal wedding a few years ago is the biggest celebration in ten years. Even the hereditary aristocrats dream of being in it. This kind of class style is an inevitable and objective culture in human society, The self righteous nobles are also vulgar.

As a result, Langley's award has become a gossip of the upper class, even earlier than Langley - the door of the social occasions that had been closed is now open to George and Elizabeth again. Otherwise, how could anyone have noticed that George went to Saville street? Even if I really noticed it, I'm afraid I would pretend not to see it.

At this time, no one directly pointed out, but "reserved" to hint to complete the tacit communication, the kind of slow flow of joy and excitement surrounded George slowly.

Vaguely, George straightened up, he knew that his era was not over. No matter how indifferent and alienated lanli is, lanli is always a hall and his father. Their life and destiny are bound together in this way, which is an objective fact that lanli can never get rid of.

If you look at the royal family, you can see that even though Charles and Diana were strangers, the affair between Charles and Camilla is no longer a secret among the nobles; But as long as it's a royal public event, Charles and Diana must continue to appear in public as a loving couple.

This can be called face, dignity and pride, or image. No matter what words are changed, they all mean the same thing in the final analysis: family, family, a community that cannot be separated or broken. The more noble and noble it is, the more so it is.

Because they have a crown over their heads. They can't bow their heads or fall down. Even panic and fear are forbidden.

"Ha, don't worry. Even if I want to use Arthur's style, you know, Robert Bailey's strictness and nitpicking are not accepted by anyone. He has his rules, and I dare not break them easily." In the face of ridicule, George also calmly responded to the past.

In an instant, people's sight changed a little.

Robert Bailey, this is the top tailor of Huntsman, the time-honored Saville street. The prototype of the movie "ace agent: secret service academy" is this custom tailor shop.

Founded in 1846, Huntsman is one of the most expensive haute couture shops in Saville street. It is known as "the tailor shop ordered by the Queen". The so-called modern men's suits are only 200 years old. Huntsman is absolutely a living fossil in the industry. They have customized suits for Prince Charles, President Bush, Prince William and other top people; In Roman holiday, every suit of Gregory Peck comes from this.

Robert Bailey is the treasure of the shop. He has excellent craftsmanship, and the reservation is always full. However, the advantage is that he is willing to customize suits for all customers. Nobles and civilians are treated equally. The price of a suit is about 9000 pounds. The specific difference lies in the fabric, design and style; The disadvantage, by contrast, is that it takes six to nine months for a custom suit to be made.

George's intention to customize his suit now is obvious: for the new year's ceremony.

Needless to say, George just mentioned the name of Robert Bailey, and everyone here can understand the meaning. Although he was dissatisfied with George's ostentation and complacency, the reality is just like this. Langley was awarded the Queen's medal, which also means that his artistic achievements were recognized by the royal family. Since then, no one can despise Langley, Even in the face of George's small show off, they will not pick a bone in the egg, otherwise, this is a disagreement with the royal family, isn't it?

"But Robert's trouble is also well known. Last time, I ordered a suit, and he asked me to go to the store and measure it 12 times, because he was worried about me getting fat, God! It really hurts your self-esteem. "

Someone nearby mentioned his experience of cooperation with Robert Bailey, who refused to let George specialize in beauty, and then everyone changed the topic in a hustle and bustle.

As the waiter drew closer, he came to George and whispered, "the holde are having afternoon tea next door."
